A Sentimental Locket
Lockets are the quintessential heirloom jewel. Built to hold photographs or locks of hair in secret compartments, the style first became popular during the Victorian era, when jewelry was, almost by definition, sentimental. Contemporary designers have brought fresh eyes to the classic style by adding gemstones, embellishing the metal with unique finishes or allowing for a touch of personalization.
